Parents Shell out Big Bucks for Tutors
WASHINGTON TIMES I September 2, 2006 I By Lisa Kassenaar

In New York, where tuition at some private schools will top $30,000 this fall, parents are spending thousands of dollars more on one-on-one instruction. Some teens need extra coaching --which can cost more than $500 an hour --to get through chemistry or Franz Kafka.

Others seek help to nab the A's required for a seat at Harvard or Princeton universities, says Lisa Jacobson, who started Inspirica Ltd. in 1983 in Manhattan and now employes more than 100 tutors.
